Summary
The Bachelor of Economics will provide you with a sound understanding of today's complex economic environment and the skills to design economic systems that promote welfare, fairness and sustainability. You'll learn about how modern economies operate, trade and grow; the role of prices and markets in allocating scarce resources; and the sorts of policy interventions that can be introduced when economic outcomes are less than optimal. Macquarie's world-leading Bachelor of Ancient History - the longest-running and broadest of its kind in Australia - allows you to immerse yourself in the culture and languages of the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds, both on campus and at archaeological dig sites overseas.
